Versatile Mage: Lord of the Styx, but Lord of the Living

Chapter 254 Battle-Damaged Black Dragon, Dragon Knight?!

Even after two thousand years, this ancient armor still carries a trace of the Azure Dragon's aura, which is understandable that the Black Dragon Emperor, who is also a dragon, could sense it.

Lu Ran nodded calmly. Seeing that the Black Dragon Emperor had lost his will to fight, he returned to the mountaintop and went back to Asha's side.

Just as Lu Ran was about to say something, he caught a glimpse of a flash of light out of the corner of his eye. The enormous dragon body, which blotted out the sky, disappeared, and a lifelike, tall figure slowly walked into the cave.

"You...you're transforming???" Lu Ran's pupils contracted sharply, and he was speechless!

The next moment, the Black Dragon Emperor showed him the result through his actions.

A tall, mature woman stood at the entrance of the cave. She was dressed in a long black and gold robe and black and gold leather pants, with not a single inch of skin exposed. Her entire body was covered in miniature dragon scales.

She has long, flowing hair that reaches her waist, and among her thick, dark hair, one can vaguely see a pair of miniature dragon horns!
At this moment, she was staring at Lu Ran and Asha Ruya with her dark gold vertical dragon eyes.

Is this the Dragon Girl?

The word subconsciously came to Lu Ran's mind.

What shocked him even more was that the Black Dragon Emperor was in a battle-worn state because she had just been injured!
The black and gold robe and leather trousers had faint traces of tearing and bloodstains, which the black dragon concealed with its scales to prevent outsiders from seeing them.

She seems to have suffered a considerable injury?

Black Dragon's stance at this moment carried an indescribable meaning. It no longer possessed the heroic and valiant air of a tall and mature woman, but instead gave off a sense of delicate beauty and unsteadiness.

Lu Ran took a deep breath and said:

"what do you mean?"

The transformed Black Dragon Emperor frowned, her face hardening, her delicate eyebrows suddenly becoming more imposing. She coldly asked, "What do you mean?"

Lu Ran suddenly realized that she definitely didn't know about the honey trap, no, the honey dragon trap.

"Isn't it normal for emperor-level beings to have the ability to shape their bodies and take on human form? Aren't you the same?" The black dragon Austin looked at Lu Ran with a suspicious gaze.

At this moment, she was very interested in Lu Ran, the 'man' who was stronger than her in combat!

The other party should also be an emperor-like being.

Yes, the Emperor of the Dead from Kyushu!
Although it's unclear why he was there.
But the next moment, Lu Ran said something that made her eyes widen in surprise.

"No, I am human, I just possess the power of an emperor." Lu Ran said calmly.

"How can this be?"

Black Dragon Austin clearly didn't believe it, thinking that Lu Ran was deceiving her.

But when Lu Ran withdrew his imperial power and his aura quickly disappeared, turning him back into the weak and pitiful creature in Austin's eyes, she believed it!
An emperor would never allow his power to be so insignificant and frivolous.

Unless, he is truly a human being with the power of an emperor.

But how is this possible?

Even Wen Tai couldn't do it!
While Austin was deep in thought, Lu Ran woke up the unconscious Asha.

A groggy Asha opened her beautiful eyes and the first thing she saw was Lu Ran. She murmured softly:

"We're not dead?"

Lu Ran was amused: "With me here, you'll be fine."

As he spoke, Lu Ran pulled Asha's back up, patted her shapely bottom, and pointed to Austin, who was dressed in a black and gold leather jacket:
Do you recognize him?

Following Lu Ran's finger, Asha Ruya saw a tall, slender, and imposing woman standing at the cave entrance!
Asha'ruya frowned instinctively: "Who is she?"

"Could she be your new favorite? To find a beauty even in a place like the Tyrant Mountains, tsk tsk."

Upon hearing this, Lu Ran's face instantly darkened.

With a "smack," Asharuya clutched her buttocks and glared angrily at Lu Ran.

"Stop changing the subject, I'm serious. You really don't know her?" Lu Ran said sternly. Asha Ruya looked Austin over for a while longer, then shook her head again.

Austin, on the other hand, stared at Azharia's face, a thoughtful expression on his face, before asking:

"Are you Asha'ruya? Ventai's daughter?"

Asha's eyes widened, her expression changing instantly: "How did you know?"

Austin scoffed, "How would I know?"

Having said that, her words carried an imposing authority without anger, and her dragon eyes released a powerful dragon's might!

In an instant, Asha's head was covered in sweat, overwhelmed by the dragon's might.

Fortunately, Lu Ran intervened in time and stopped Austin: "Hey, don't be so rough with little girls."

Austin withdrew his dragon-like aura and simply said, "Oh."

Asha's eyes widened as she looked at Lu Ran, then at Austin, completely bewildered!
Is she the Black Dragon Emperor Austin?

She transformed into human form?

But why would she listen to Lu Ran?
Could it be that.
Austin spoke first, "You've come here, perhaps because of Wen Tai?"

Before Asha could explain, Austin continued, "Right now, I don't want to have anything to do with Ventay!"

Asha Ruya was puzzled, but Lu Ran had some ideas.

Austin, his face cold, said angrily:

"It's all his fault! If it weren't for him, I wouldn't have been implicated by the contract!! And I wouldn't have been unconscious for so long."

The words and their implications reveal Austen's resentment towards Wen Tai!
Lu Ran couldn't help but sigh.

He suddenly realized that this black dragon seemed to be in a really bad situation!

Before encountering Ventai, the Black Dragon Emperor Austin fought a fierce battle with another Emperor Plague Dragon. After killing his opponent, he was not much better off and returned to his lair, Tyrant Mountain Range, to recuperate and rest.

Later, he met Wen Tai, and the two became friends and formed a contract.

Later, Wen Tai went to the Dark Dimension to become the Dark King, but the contract was not broken.

As expected, the Black Dragon Emperor Austin suffered a backlash from the contract, his soul severely damaged, and he returned to Tyrant Mountain Range to continue recuperating.
She, Yilong, silently endured all the hardships along the way.

Then comes the original plot.

Austin had barely regained some of her power when Su Lu, who coveted her dragon body and wanted to forcibly form a contract with her, came knocking on her door.

Su Lu devised a series of methods, first to bewitch him, and then to forcibly conclude a contract.

Unable to bear the humiliation, Austin found a glimmer of hope and, even at the cost of his own soul, forcibly broke the contract. He was then dragged into the dark dimension by Su Lu and became a pawn of the 'Chess King'.

A man of imperial stature, a sovereign black dragon, yet his final fate was utterly tragic.

Austin ultimately became a dragon's body, along with his soul, all combined into a set of Black Dragon Magic Tools.
Feeling a pang of nostalgia, Lu Ran couldn't help but ask Austin, "What are your plans for the future?"

Austin narrowed his dragon eyes, staring at Lu Ran with great interest, and said:
“I’ll be leaving the Tyrant Mountains. How about I come with you for now?”

Lu Ran was stunned for a moment, then said:
"What are you following me for?"

Austin stretched, his human-shaped body outlining perfect curves, his dark golden dragon eyes fixed on Lu Ran:

"Because I'm very curious about you."

Lu Ran: “.”

Asha'ruya: "."
